ctrl c ctrl v disabled

[tonyforster]

xo-1 running os240py or os258py, ctrl c,v do not work but copy and paste from toolbar do. (can get one only ctrl v after copying with toolbar.) Fails in Gnome too.

TA95 OS373pyg

Launch TA
select a block
ctrl c and v do not work
copy using the toolbar
ctrl c and v now work

Raul and I have been trying to chase this one down for a long time... something t do with how I am setting up the toolbars.

I believe the ctrl-{c,v} accelerators become available once the copy/paste toolbar becomes visible. A shorter path of your procedure also works:

- Launch TA
- select a block
- ctrl c and v do not work
- activate copy/paste toolbar
- ctrl c and v now work

which suggests a few hacks to fix this. Finding why the accelerators are not responding as early as everything is running is the true question though.

Plus, forcing the use of the old toolbars (adding self.new_sugar_system = False in TurtleArtActivity.py#723) makes ctrl-{c,v} work.

the attached patch makes ctrl-{c,v} by expanding/un-expanding the edit toolbar on startup

Terminal has the same issue (#1784); maybe this should be reassigned to sugar-toolkit?

Note that behavior seems to be identical to the one seen in Turtle Art (i.e.: accelerators start responding once you've enabled the edit toolbar).

Might be sugar-toolkit or all activities are building toolbars in a wrong way?

Do we know of any activity using the new toolbars in which the accelerators of the edit buttons do work?

[garycmartin]

I'm sure this was broken when the new toolbars were implemented, and then fixed by alsroot, perhaps somethings reverted that work. Sorry don't have the trac to hand. Alsroot, does this ring any bells for you?

OS373pyg
ctrl c works ok for
abacus
speak
calculate
paint
log
pippy
write
browse

with record, take a photo, click it, the first ctrl c does nothing, second one ok

Work around incorporated in v95 (We can continue to track the Sugar issue in #1784)
